If you can switch pools and switching causes the one switched to, to move in the order to the top you just have to start at lowest priority then switch to increasingly higher priorities. At least I thought you could switch in the API.

Yeah, I'm just saying it would be nice if it was a bit easier. Like have an entry box for priorities and an entry box for adding a pool on the fly.

$readonly = false;$poolinputs = true;

As per the API-README at the end about miner.php

Also see API-REAME about enabling privileged access to cgminer via the API(since changing cgminer is privileged access)

I believed you the first time. What I don't have, as yet, is an explanation or anything in particular to debug since I can't reproduce it yet.

Maybe if you run one instance in debug mode (-D -T) you can see what the last thing is that is logged.

For finding the error i am running one instance with -fix-protocol.I had the idea maybe the Exception comes when the DSL-Router makes a reconnect and stratum looses his tcp connection.Logging is also enabled now.

This post is the most interesting and do you know why? The GPU code is UNCHANGED between 2.7.6 and 2.8.3. The only thing that is different is the stratum code. Now why would that make your GPUs SICK now when they didn't previously? Because with the stratum code, the device is busier than ever. There is no possible way to keep the device as busy as doing it in the c code internally in cgminer. So your devices are no longer getting any rest between work.

EDIT: This is precisely why stratum was developed by the way; in order to be able to keep much higher hashrate devices busy. If you want to test this theory, use version 2.8.3 and connect to the proxy in http mode by using --fix-protocol.

That is quite interesting, i must admit.My GPUs are mostly at 99% load, i have the CCC open all the time, but must admit i don't look all the time.Is it that the load drops sometimes for a short period and that makes the GPU cool or recover so it can look like lasting longer, and on stratum it is on 99% load 24h a day?

Also, i have a request:Is it possible to show the fan percentage with the rpm's? I use CCC to monitor fan percentage, because that is my measure when and if my computers need to be air condititoned.As long as fan percentage is below my set max of 55% i declare them sufficient and do not reduce engine clock. (But on the other hand it seems i need to to have stratum work?)

I'm not understanding this. Aren't these difficulty numbers multipliers of current difficulty? How/why would a miner be working on a higher difficulty than the pool is requesting?

Miners are trying to find hashes that meet a minimum of the current difficulty. So if your hash only hit difficulty 1, it is not good enough for a difficulty 3 pool. If your hash hits the Bitcoin difficulty, you found a block.
